Chapter Text
"You have got to stop doing this," Takagi wince at the harsh but worried voice from the woman behind him, who was replacing the bandages of his most recent injury on his chest which was caused by a robber who attacked him with a pocket knife while trying to escape being arrested, " I'm sorry onee-chan..." He muttered as he shifted a bit on the couch.
Although he couldn't see his twin sister's face he could tell from her tone of voice and the sigh that came after his apology that she was very upset and worried about him, and he couldn't blame her, really, "Seriously what were you thinking!? Chasing the robber despite having a literal knife to your chest, Wataru," She said as she tighten the bandages around his chest firmly, making sure that it wasn't loose before reaching for the medical tape next to her side.
"I couldn't let him get away-" Takagi stopped talking when he felt something hit the back of his head, "No I don't care what reason you had this time Wataru," she scolded before putting the medical tape way, "You had a knife to your chest Wataru"
"I didn't-" he was cut off before he could object by his sister, "Oh no I heard from Megure-keibu, he had told me that he had yelled at you to not chase after the robber because you had a knife impaled to your chest," Dang it Megure-keibu, "So don't even think about using your medical condition as an excuse Wataru,"
There was a long moment to silent between the two siblings before the older of the two sighs and spoke, "Look I'm not...I..." she sighs again as she pinched the bridge of her nose, fuck her inability to communicate on an emotional level, as much as she was pissed at her brother for being a complete idiot, he needed-, "Am I a bad brother Masami?" Masami snapped out of her train of thought at her brother's question, " WHAT!? No-"
"Masami all I have done is caused nothing but trouble," Takagi said as he turn to face his sister, "I've gotten hurt more times than Aniki and Aneki combine and they have the same condition," Masami bit her lip, right the family condition. It was something that their mother's side of the family had passed down through countless generations, a genetic mutation that caused CIP or better yet known as Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, however their mother hadn't past it down to all five of her children, their ane was spared from it as well as Masami despite being Takagi's twin sister.
However despite the youngest to inherit it, Takagi was the most self-destructive of the three for reasons they all wish didn't exist. Masami's eyes caught sight of her younger twin's arms, with a few particular scars that had long healed ago but she wished it would just vanish, especially the one on his left wrist, a cruel reminder of how she failed as a sister. Masami sighs as she tried to push those horrible memories away, she needed to comfort her brother not thinking about the past.
"Wataru your not a bad brother," Masami started off as she looked at her younger brother who looked miserable, almost like when dad-, she shook that memory away and continued, "Yes you are reckless and a self-sacrificial idiot,"she placed a hand on his head patting him, "But you're our family's reckless and a self-sacrificial idiot," Takagi chuckles at his sister's poor attempt at comfort.
"I am aren't I?" Masami smiles as she ruffled his hair earning a yelp of surprise from the younger, "Yeah you are, now put on some clothes," she said before getting off the couch, she picks up her phone from the table planning on ordering food online instead of cooking. Neither of the two of them would feel like cooking after that anyway, maybe she should order ramen from that one shop her co-workers recommended.
Hopefully her brother would be less reckless in the future.
